Trial... and Error

Another month of trying and no success. It's pretty upsetting really. Hopefully, there are other people who do this and it's not just me - you get hopeful and allow yourself to start thinking that maybe, just maybe, this is the month. Time passes slower until the day you can finally test and then... one line. Bummer. Another unsuccessful month.

We did everything right. We knew exactly when ovulation happened and had sex! There's nothing wrong with either of us, we've had the tests to prove that and still another month of a negative result. It's so disappointing and even a little bit heartbreaking. We both really want to have a baby and it's just so hard!

So we've switched. Instead of using the disposable ovulation prediction kits, we'll use the rather expensive Clear Blue Fertility Monitor. For a months supply of tests and the machine, we're in another $200. With consideration to the costs of other fertility measures it's actually pretty cheap. As per my doctor the only thing we can do for the next few months is try. Until then, they won't do Clomid and that's the starting point. The process goes Clomid, IUI then IVF until you finally have to give up on that route.

I'm trying to be hopeful, but it's tough. Please, please, please.
